OK, so beyond being appalled at the evil of the US military in not just banning gay people from joining, but also from making innocent, but oh, so, totally hot and immoral, in the best sense of the word, gay porn, I am incensed that they choose to withhold the link! Monsters. :mad:

I wouldn't have a problem if the US Military banned its service members from making porn period. I would have a problem if they singled out gay porn.

From the sounds of it, however, the US Military won't really do anything unless they catch someone making out with an officer. This from someone who went to boot camp for the US Army.

So, can they make straight porn? I mean, if they couldn't make any orientation of porn, it would be a reasonable action to punish them as part of the military conduct code.

However, this seems like a discriminatory action against gays, not against unbecoming conduct.

I can tell you right now that the consequences would be the same if they made heterosexual porn. Making porn is a big no no.

Stop flaming against the U.S. military. It seems like every post you make has something to do with gay this gay that. Stop trying to make yourself look like the victim, its not going to get you sympathy votes. As everyone else above me said, if the U.S. army was making porn, period, it would not be allowed and would be looked into.

This is terrible. If a person wants to make porn, whatever kind so long at it doesn't involve kids or non-consentual activity, he or she should feel free to go ahead. The founding fathers were big supporters of pornography* and it's unAmerican to prohibit our brave troops from participating in this American tradition.

*I'm assuming that the founding fathers were into porn because I can't imagine anyone not liking porn.

Uniform Code of Military Justice
934. ART. 134. GENERAL ARTICLE

Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court.
http://www.au.af.mil/au/awc/awcgate/ucmj.htm

It doesn’t have to be homosexual behavior, but conduct that brings discredit could simply be ‘embarrassment’ so even heterosexual porn can be brought up on charges. The military still charges people with carnal knowledge and adultery and they recently have banned procuring prostitution. As to the homosexual conduct…

From the original post, link:
the military's "don't ask, don't tell" policy states that "homosexual orientation alone is not a bar to service, but homosexual conduct is incompatible with military service."

"We define homosexual conduct as homosexual acts or verbal or nonverbal communication that a member is homosexual," Vician said.

The laws used to govern the members of the US military are most always stricter than civilian laws. (Being that the stakes are often much higher, and discipline being more important, it makes sense.)
Some of them really could use a fix though.

As for making porn, well I can see a few article of the Uniform Codes of Military Justice (which are applicable to ALL services) that are violated.

ART. 125. SODOMY
(a) Any person subject to this chapter who engages in unnatural carnal copulation with another person of the same or opposite sex or with an animal is guilty of sodomy. Penetration , however slight, is sufficient to complete the offense.
(b) Any person found guilty of sodomy shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.

ART. 133. CONDUCT UNBECOMING AN OFFICER AND A GENTLEMAN
Any commissioned officer, cadet, or midshipman who is convicted of conduct unbecoming an officer and a gentleman shall be punished as a court-martial may direct.
(Note: This applies to the ladies as well)

ART. 134. GENERAL ARTICLE
Though not specifically mentioned in this chapter, all disorders and neglects to the prejudice of good order and discipline in the armed forces, all conduct of a nature to bring discredit upon the armed forces, and crimes and offenses not capital, of which persons subject to this chapter may be guilty, shall be taken cognizance of by a general, special or summary court-martial, according to the nature and degree of the offense, and shall be punished at the discretion of that court.

Life's stricter (something anyone should realize). Hell, you'll land time in jail for adultery, something you won't see in civilian life. Though, you'll still find people who game the system.

In general private matters (what/who you do on your own time) aren't actually a big deal. It is only if/when these matter become public and have the possibility of damaging discipline or the general order, that the military will care.
I think it was Eutrusca (forgive me if I'm wrong) that pointed out that in the past commanding officers had more leeway in how to deal with matters (such as homosexuality) becoming public.
Then someone came about and instituted a "Don't Ask, Don't Tell" policy and tied commanders' hands on the issue.

That said, I think that we shouldn't be kicking people out of service based on sexual preference. It's discriminatory, pure and simple, and doesn't support the ideals of freedom.

We lack special laws for the military - apart from certain cases of insubordination and the like (which will be dealt with in regular courts, mind you, as we lack courts marshal), if it ain't a crime outside the military, it ain't a crime in it.

That said, otherwise mundane (??) incidents, such as adultery, fraternization, etc. can and have had detrimental effects on military operations. And given that unlike your typical civilian career, people can and do die because of seemingly minor fuck ups, the military tends to take things seriously.

Don't ask don't tell is doing a rather poor job at keeping gays out of the US military. My bottom still hurts from my escapades with US soldiers in Okinawa during the winter break.

Allow me, on behalf of the American Public, to thank you for helping to keep up the morale of the American Fighting Men. :)

Oh, it all sounds like puritanism to me. As if sodomy and adultery are that big of a threat to the "mighty US army who are so great and mighty and something else propaganda-ish US movies like to propagate." Seems quite the pointless thing to be afraid of.
Having an affair with someone in the office in civilian life can cause friction in the workplace.
The same friction in the workplace can get people killed in the military.
Higher stakes requires higher discipline.
It has caused problems in the past.

"While the primary purpose of the United States justice system is to dispense "justice," that is not the primary reason for the creation of a separation justice system for America's Armed Forces. The primary purpose of the Military's system is to provide the military commander with necessary tools to enforce good order and discipline. That's why, for example, it's not considered a "crime" to be late for work at your civilian job, but it is a "crime" to be late for work in the Military (violation of Article 86 of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, or UCMJ)."
-Rod Powers
http://usmilitary.about.com/od/justicelawlegislation/a/miljustice.htm <-- A good overview of what it's about.

One should note, that it's uncommon for a commander to go straight to max. punishment, and that punishments may have different effects on enlisted or officers.
For instance, an Article 15 may kill an officer's career (if signed and made official, it'll go into an Unfavorable Information File for 3 yrs, and axes any chance of promotion), whereas an enlisted personnel with an article 15 won't necessarily
ruin their career.
My commander for instance, received an Article 15 when she was an Lt, but the commanding officer choose to leave it unsigned and in his desk, as opposed to making it official. This allowed him to use it as an effective warning, without going overboard.

It is stricter than you'll find in civilian life, but at the same time, there is alot of flexibility built into the system.

The relation between tardiness and adultery eludes. Tonnes of people are adulterous every day without it affecting their ability to get to work on time and kill people.

Stop flaming against the U.S. military. It seems like every post you make has something to do with gay this gay that. Stop trying to make yourself look like the victim, its not going to get you sympathy votes. As everyone else above me said, if the U.S. army was making porn, period, it would not be allowed and would be looked into.

I never tried to connect tardiness and adultery.
And, as it is punished under Article 134, it's usually only an issue if it effects the military (as i've said).
Take the Lt. Flynn case. Lt. Kelly Flynn had an affair with the husband of an active duty enlisted personnel stationed at the same base, having a direct and negative impact on that service member, and thus damaging good order, discipline, and morale.
Hell, there was an AF Captain (afaik) a few years back who tried to pull a David and Bathsheba with one of his subordinates.

You'd think you'd reprimand the poor performance of that service member, and not, as puritans do, the adultery. Really, it's just so silly.
